The Dixie Chicks are obviously idiots who can play musical instuments and sing, sort of like animals who can talk, but just barely.

[fightinJAG]

They have always had contempt for their C & W core audience. They just played to them before because they was the one that brung 'em to the dance.

I've been away from my computer for several days so I'm late expressing my gratitude. THANK YOU FOR THE GUT-LAUGHS!!! I about peed my pants when I saw that.

Thanks for posting, Timesink. It's about what I thought it would be. EW even doctored the lower photo to make NM look as trim as the other two. Too bad they forgot to do the same to the top photo where she looks like she borrowed one of Mama Cass's moo-moos to keep from being mistaken for The Blob (who has now, no doubt, surpassed her in popularity).

Hilarious that they think it's no use "reasoning" with the millions of outraged fans who are all wrong while the DCs are all right. This interview reminds me of the lame excuses defendants used to spout to Judge Wapner on People's Court. One thing's for sure, though -- George "Kingfish" Stevens had better look for his laurels. Fat Nat is close on his heels.

"You see, Calhoun, it's very easy to explain. When those words came tumbling outta my mouth, I just wasn't watching, that is, I wasn't thinking, uh, that they would do that so loud. If I'da known, I woulda covered up Mama's ears, but I didn't, so I couldn'ta known, you see. I think it musta been one of those ventriloquators in the audience. Yes, that's got to be it, a ventriloquator."

Hey, Fat Nat! Guess what? You're free to say anything you want. Your (former) fans are free to say anything they want, listen to whatever music and radio stations they want, and buy whatever they want. Everybody's free! Ain't it grand?

At least they're locking up the dozens of country music fans in the blue states.

NATALIE MAINES I was shocked that they were shocked, I guess. I didn't know people thought of me as conservative. I've never tried to hide who I am. People know us. They know that we're nice...

So, people who are conservative AREN'T nice?

MAINES We've always respected and accepted constructive criticism. I completely understand the people who hate what I said. That's America. No problem with that. But it's interesting to be boycotted because we weren't -- I'm sorry, I won't say ''we'' anymore -- because I wasn't for the war.

Too bad Nat that you just don't get it -- When you speak out and your views are completely contrary to those of your main audience, you are going to be intimately associated with those views and you should expect to pay the price for alienating your biggest fan base.

This interview shows that they are just as clueless as the usual bunch of Hollywood loony leftist liberals -- "If we would all just get along with each other, there would be no problems in the world". Tell that to the hundreds of thousands (maybe millions) who lost their lives under Saddam and tell that to future US citizens who would very likely lose their lives with the terror tools developed and exported by him.

Ya know, Dave, it's a funny thing. My grocer has never uttered one word to me about politics. Not one. Come to think of it, neither has my dentist or my doctor or my mechanic. Do you suppose they think I might take my business elsewhere if their politics offended me? Yeah, I think that's probably it.

The big mystery is how somebody like Maines, who's plainly too dumb to figure this same thing out, can survive for 27 years.

[Squantos]

Sales down 40%, the real American "opinion" of their "opinion" has been validated with the dollar versus the hollar per se .....her apology to her fans on their web site was a hollow self preserving lie. She has the right to say what's on her mind and I have the right to say bullshit and not buy her songs. Fact is I never did before all this took place.

But I have no doubt who'll be the opening act at the next DNC socialist fest !

Stay Safe Timesink !

* COUNTRY MUSIC FANS BOO DIXIE CHICKS

    Country Music Television recently aired the 'CMT Flameworthy 2003 Video Music Awards,' awarded based on the votes of country music fans.  "And to say these fans have soured on the Dixie Chicks, after one member of the band said she was ashamed to be from the same state as President Bush, is an understatement.  The trio was shut out in every category for which it was nominated.  The crowd was very hostile to even the mention of their names.  Feisty comic Brett Butler pleaded: "The South is a place of sin and redemption and hopefully forgiveness.  Maybe in a couple of weeks we'll just all try to forgive the Dixie Chicks, OK?"  "That prompted loud and sustained boos from the audience, which upset Miss Butler, telling the people in the balcony "by the time you get down here ... I'll already be gone.  Everybody in here's a good American, so just stop it."  They didn't.  That elicited more boos.  The Dixie Chicks didn't show.

Is it me who thinks the Dixie Chick with brown hair has a flounder face....her eyes are either crossed or just too close together.

[Squantos]

LOL.....Stay Safe !!

[Eaker]

her eyes are either crossed or just too close together.

Howdy Squantos!

Excellent post!

NATALIE MAINES I was shocked that they were shocked, I guess. I didn't know people thought of me as conservative. I've never tried to hide who I am.

Well, they sure as bleep know who you are NOW...and they don't like you much.

[DBtoo]

What is it lately with all these idiots protesting by getting naked in public? People are going to notice that they are naked and not what they are protesting, which in a way is good as it's only left-wingers doing it.

Imagine if FReepers.... nevermind.

[EastCoast]

I swear, Phat Nat's nose in the third photo does look like a porker! Take a look!

[Jael]

I don't get it. Why do they think they are the only ones who have the freedom of speech?

I fully support their right to what ever they want. If they are stupid enough to trash their own careers, they have all the freedom in the world to do that.

At some point maybe these liberal types will realize that a consumer driven career should be better handled.

We do have the freedom to not have a thing in the world to do with them.

Go Marshall Tucker. I always liked that music anyway. It was my first concert ever.

Not that I go to concerts any more. :-)

Are the two non-chubby ones sisters?
